MUSCAT: Diplomats from Iran and USA are scheduled to meet Saturday (12th April, 2025) to commence a dialogue on Tehran’s Nuclear Program.
Ali Shamkhani, an adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, took to the X on Thursday (10th April) to comment on the pressure being exerted by USA: “Continued external threats and putting Iran under the conditions of a military attack could lead to deterrent measures like the expulsion of IAEA inspectors and ceasing cooperation with it...Transferring enriched material to safe and undisclosed locations in Iran could also be on the agenda”.
It may be recalled that US President Donald Trump had threatened to attack Iran if it failed to agree to a nuclear deal. President of Iran Masoud Pazeshkian, while referring to Trump’s correspondence sent to the Irani Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (on 6th March, inviting him to come to the negotiating table to ponder over a nuclear deal), said during a cabinet meeting on 30th March that his country had responded.
“We responded to the US president’s letter via Oman and rejected the option of direct talks, but we are open to indirect negotiations,” Masoud Pezeshkian told. It is pertinent to mention here that Trump in his message for parlays, also threatened bombings and secondary tariffs if Tehran did not sign an agreement apropos its nuclear program. Khamenei, while dismissing Trump’s warning said Iran would only engage in talks by means of intermediaries.
